Duke Vitale Shows once again why....

His mid-season All velcro team

All-Velcro (top defenders)
Travis Diener – Marquette
Chuck Hayes – Kentucky
Aaron Miles – Kansas
Chris Paul – Wake Forest
Shelden Williams – Duke

He’s got freakin Diener on there who only averages 1.4 steals per. Chuck Hayes is no better at 1.8 per. Aaron Miles, 1.9. Chris Paul at 2.1. Eddie averages 3.1 per right now and is 10th in the nation in steals.

Dukie V is such a freakin moron.

He did put Plav in one of his lists but you know that wouldn’t have happend had it not been for the half court shot on ESPN.

All-AT&T (long-distance shooters)
Travis Diener – Marquette
Chris Hill – Michigan State
Brendan Plavich – Charlotte
Rashad McCants – North Carolina
Gerry McNamara – Syracuse

Actually, he had Plav on the list for his pre-season publication. Somebody posted it here before the season started, but I don’t remember who.

To be fair, defense is about more than just steals.

But you are correct, Vitale is an idiot.

I agree. But I think you’d be hard pressed to find anyone with some college basketball knowledge, this of course excludes Digger and Dukie, that doesn’t know about Eddie’s skills as a defender.

I just found it funny that none of his All Velcro were even in the top 25 in steals.

now that i guy is the biggest piece of crap i have ever seen or heard. I knew he was bad, but last night they gave this guy a board of the top 25 and asked him what he thought. after Carolina getting railed by Chris Paul and company, a team that got outright demolished by illinois "digger said, i just dont think illinois has enough inside." he then scooted illinois and a few others down picked up YES North Carolina, and put them in the number one spot.

He's a moron. Yesterday on Fudge's show he said Dayton was moving to the Big East. :rolleyes:

I’ll never forget when he called the morning sports page when Rodney was here and Jags asked him his thoughts he said, “Well you guys tell me, I haven’t heard much about him.”

Digger and Dukie our total morons.

Digger Phelps is the Dan Quayle of college hoops. Here are a few of his gems:

“Basketball is a game of two halves.”

“We have to remember that whoever scores the most points by the end wins.”

“You’re either a good team or a bad team, and they played somewhere in the middle.”

“He’s like all great players – not great yet.”

“You don’t score 86 points without being able to shoot.”

Those are excellent. What an ASS!
